Our Florida workshop has already sold out but before this one does (only about 8 spots left at the time of posting) I wanted to post it here on the forum since I am finding myself spending more and more time here. If this is in the incorrect spot on the forum please move it to the correct location, this is my first time posting something of this nature so I am not sure where to post it and while this is not a wedding workshop but a lighting one my work is 90% weddings using these techinques so I figured this would be the place to start the thread.
Sponsored by several major companies including Miller's Lab and Collages.net
:mrgreen: ...on the Beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Tues & Wed August 28-29th.
Limited class size and very hands on, everyone bring their camera equipment. walking shoes and comfy clothes.
A Few Highlights of the workshop:
· Wireless flash, bringing the studio outdoor with you anywhere you go in any kind of lighting. With live models on the first day, shooting in the evening to help with the heat. Come learn the techniques along with the basic hardware to capture portrait images in any sort of lighting situation. Its more than just using a flash or a camera its learning to balance the two to get the greatest results.
· Nighttime shooting with video lights of several kinds with live models
· Nighttime shooting showing how to use the manmade lights in and around your town to your advantage.
· Workflow using basic and common software that anyone can use. Workflow not Workslow

· Basic marketing that will bring in money without having to spend a lot to get the result!

· And a lot more!

Mike Fulton
Born and raised just south of Houston in Brazoria County, one of TriCoast's principal photographers, Mike Fulton of www.TriCoastPhoto.com (http://www.tricoastphoto.com/) developed his love for photography by finding his father's camera as a young teenager. He taught himself and enjoyed photography as a hobby through his high school years. While studying Criminal Justice and other science fields in college, his passion for the art of photography grew and he made the switch to the professional level shortly thereafter. Starting in the high fashion and glamour field, Mike found his work being published in many publications ranging from art magazines to calendars. After a short term in the motion picture industry having his work displayed as props in several short films and motion pictures, he found his true passion in the art of wedding photography. Bringing his love for fashion and glamour styles with him, Mike uses his knowledge and artistic eye to blend these Editorial Fashion styles with the beauty of the wedding day.

Rough Outline of the Workshop and What to Expect:
Day 1:
Starting after lunch at 1:00pm (1300hours) we begin in the classroom going over the basic understandings of wireless flash, what we look for when using it and how TriCoast sets up their camera and flashes for all different kinds of lighting. Then going outside with live models the class watches some basic shooting from TriCoast in order to show how a two man team can shoot using this method or if your by yourself. Afterwards the class is broken up into smaller groups, each with a model, to practice the techs. The class breaks for dinner and as the sun goes down we bring out the video lights and go over several models and types and showing each their positive and negative aspects of them. (end of first day)
Day 2:
Starting at 9:00am (0900hours)
Classrom most of the day going over the following but not limited too:
TriCoast's workflow in detail - From how I create folders on my harddrives - Store my images - Why I do all of this
Processing workflow in PS and other software, step by step on how I process a wedding. This is not a software workshop I simply explain and show you in detail my workflow, every step I do.
Question and Answer about TriCoast from all of the other workshops which we have taught over the years, also this workshop is a VERY OPEN FORUM set up so any question anyone has, ask away, remember NO SECRETS
Inspriations on how we develop our images and our style
and a whole lot more....
OPEN QUESTION CLASSROOM so every class is different depending on the students and the questions asked.
